It sets out a step-by-step process for countries, starting with planning and engaging stakeholders, then forming a dedicated team, identifying key stakeholders and thoroughly analyzing the country's current economic framework to find opportunities for circularity.
Drawing insights from global case studies, it offers practical solutions tailored to each developing country's unique context. It highlights the importance of collaborative efforts involving businesses, international organisations, academic institutions, financial entities and NGOs.
It aims to empower nations in the Global South to embrace sustainable development, environmental preservation, and economic resilience.

Threads of Change is a new platform created by Humana People to People that highlights the transformative role of the second-hand clothing (SHC) industry in fostering sustainability, economic growth and social equity.
This initiative calls for supporting policies with a holistic perspective for a sector that is key to reducing environmental impact, creates green jobs along the global value chain, and contributes greatly to the EU’s GDP while minimising the use of scarce resources.
The platform's main aim is to spotlight the SHC industry's critical role in shaping a more sustainable textile sector. Help us build a case for an even more efficient and ambitious textile value chain by sharing your best practices or your views on the topic!
